When someone dies, especially someone as ever-present as Norm Macdonald, everyone gushes about what a genius the guy was, how flawless, etc. I wouldn't say Norm was a genius or that he was always brilliant with a joke. Indeed, quite the opposite: the key to Norm was quantity not quality, he was a comedy workaholic, every day he put the hard hat on and went to work in the comedy mines. And he hit plenty of fool's gold, indeed, he made a cottage industry of flailing. He was an experimenter in a world where everyone is too afraid to make a move. It is his fearlessness that will be missed.
Everyone had their favorite Norm line. Mine: "They say gambling is a disease....well, its the only disease where you can make a shitload of money!"
His final video and, of course, it is not for the faint of heart. And if you don't like it, well, you don't have to.
